> How do you tell the story of a small suburban garden, and  
> simultaneously the story of the United States in the first years of  
> the 21st century? My current project, Gardening in a Strange Land,   
> documents the making of a garden in San Diego by an immigrant  
> (myself) over a six year period (2000-2006), while charting the  
> reconfiguration of foreign and domestic policy in the US during the  
> same time frame. The foreign-domestic relation is the key trope  
> animating my interwoven exploration of the quotidian and the  
> political through memoir, fiction, meditation and history.

> and The Smoking Book and co-editor of Falling for You: Essays on
